"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

Hi,

If you find yourself looking at dark spots, patches, or blotchy skin in the mirror...

Or on your hands, arms, underarms, or legs...

It's actually a pretty serious matter.

Because suffering from "aging skin" is linked to a lack of energy, depression, and even shorter life expectancy.

When you lean in the mirror and think, "I look older..." or "I don't like this..."

You know how draining it can be.

So if you ever feel that way...

Then you'll want to check this out because it"s fascinating.



You'll see that the real reason behind your spots isn"t just "getting older"...
And that it isn't just sun damage or scarring.

This is good news.

Because once you use this to treat dark spots at the source, you"ll be shocked at how fast they can fade off of your skin.

On the flip side of dealing with aging skin...

Having more youthful skin is linked to feeling more energetic, happy, and even living longer.

 So this is no superficial matter.

Picture yourself looking in the mirror and seeing bright, firm, spot-free skin...

Feeling a surge of energy and heading out to tackle the day.

You ARE worth that.

And you can have it more easily than ever.

Best,
Bridget B.
